The Rerum Hungaricarum decades (Latin for "Decades of Hungarian History") (Hungarian: A magyar történelem tizedei) is a Latin medieval chronicle from the Kingdom of Hungary from 1497. The work was written by the Italian humanist, Antonio Bonfini (Latin: Antonius Bonfinius) who was commissioned by King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary in 1488.
Antonio Bonfini (1427–1502) made an invaluable contribution to Hungarian historiography with his work, which was considered the principal source on the subject in European academic circles until the late 1700s.
